These are strange times, and like many of you we have been pulled in many directions at once over the past several months. You may have noticed that we missed a newsletter issue and delayed another one. This year that issue coincided with the beginning of the major COVID-19 related changes in all of our work and personal lives, and it just made more sense to defer publication. Keep an eye out for a special issue on SC20's switch to a virtual format.

We are excited to announce the twelve recipients of the ACM SIGHPC Computational and Data Science Fellowships for 2020. The program is intended to increase the diversity of students pursuing graduate degrees in data science and computational science, including women as well as students from racial and ethnic backgrounds that have been historically underrepresented in the computing field. The fellowship provides $15,000 annually for study anywhere in the world.

This year's SIGHPC Doctoral Dissertation Award goes to Dr. Patrick Flick. This award is given each year for the best doctoral dissertation completed in high performance computing (HPC) in the previous year, and includes a $2,000 cash prize, a plaque, and recognition at SC20 in November. Nominations were evaluated on technical merit, the significance of the research contribution, the potential impact on theory and practice, and overall quality of work.

SC20 will retain and broadcast most of its usual program and exhibitor elements. These will be adapted for fully online participation, which includes the use of an extended schedule and two broadcast times (one starting in a US Eastern Time "working day" timeslot with a rebroadcast relative to 10 am Japan Standard Time).

In late July of this year, SIGHPC's main conference, Supercomputing (SC) 2020, announced that in light of the pandemic it would switch to a virtual meeting. Since our October issue is normally a preview of SC, we'll keep with tradition but highlight how several elements of the program have changed. Of course, these unpredictable times mean a lot can still shift. So please be sure to monitor the SC20 website's Virtual Event FAQ page for updates.
